Give your below-grade spaces a clean, code-friendly finish and dependable thermal performance with Silvercote basement blanket insulation. This fiberglass blanket is factory-laminated to a reinforced facing that can be left exposed (where local codes allow), making it a fast, tidy alternative to building stud walls or fully finishing basements. 

What is Silvercote Basement Blanket Insulation?

Silvercote Basement Blanket Insulation is a pre-laminated fibreglass blanket designed for interior basement and crawlspace walls. It comes with a durable reinforced facing, available in perforated (breathable) or non-perforated (vapor-retarder) versions, making it ideal for exposed applications where you need both thermal performance and a clean, finished appearance. It can be installed horizontally or vertically, making it flexible for different wall heights and layouts.

Benefits of Silvercote Basement Insulation

• Enhanced Energy Efficiency – Provides continuous R-value protection (R-11 or R-19) to help regulate basement temperatures and reduce heating costs.
• Clean, Professional Finish – White reinforced facing creates a bright and tidy appearance without needing drywall in certain applications.
• Moisture Control Options – Perforated facings allow walls to breathe; non-perforated facings act as a vapor retarder where required.
• Quick Installation – Large roll sizes (up to 250 sq ft) mean fewer joints and faster coverage.
• Code-Friendly – Designed to meet building code requirements for exposed insulation facings where approved.

Applications of Silvercote Basement Blanket Insulation

• Residential Basements – Ideal for both new builds and retrofits where clean, exposed insulation is desired.
• Crawlspaces – Help maintain a more stable temperature and reduce condensation risks.
• Utility Rooms – Perfect for mechanical or storage areas that need insulation without full framing.
• Light Commercial – Suitable for interior foundation walls in shops, warehouses, or small commercial buildings.

Guidance on the Selection of Silvercote Products

When selecting the right Silvercote product:

• R-Value Needs – Choose R-11 for moderate climates or limited wall depth, R-19 for colder climates or maximum energy efficiency.
• Facing Type –
  • Perforated: Allows breathability and reduces moisture build-up in certain assemblies.
  • Non-Perforated (Vapor Retarder): Prevents moisture migration in assemblies where vapour control is necessary.
• Roll Width – 48" rolls for standard coverage; 60" rolls for faster installation on taller walls.
• Code Compliance – Always confirm with your local building authority if the facing can remain exposed.

Installation Tips

• Preparation – Ensure walls are clean and dry before installation.
• Orientation – Install horizontally for continuous runs with fewer seams, or vertically for tall walls with minimal cutting.
• Fastening – Use manufacturer-recommended fasteners or stick pins for secure attachment to concrete or masonry surfaces.
• Sealing Joints – Overlap facing at seams and seal with approved facing tape to maintain moisture control.
• Climate Considerations – In high-humidity areas, select a facing type that aligns with your moisture strategy.
